Perry S mith's Location.

NEWARK, Dec. 24-Ever since Perry c.
Smith was appointed to succeed Eugene Hig-
gins as appointment clerk in the treasury
department at Washington a few days ago
the Jersey congressman have been endeavor-
ing to ascertain why Smith was credited to
New Jersey. Senator Mcpherson began an
investigation on his own hook. He found
that Smith originally came from Gloucester
county, this state, but some years ago he
moved to Wisconsin.
Smith was brought to Washington by his
intimate friend, Postmaster General Villas,
but as the latter did not care to credit the
position of chief discussing clerk which he
gave Smith, to his own state, Villas had
Smith put down as New Jersey.
After Senator Mcpherson ascertained
these facts he had the matter righted, and
not many hours ago Smiths location was
changed on the books from New Jersey to
Wisconsin,

Lively Experience of New York Hun
ter.

ELLENvGLLE, n. Y, Dec. S.-Hunter
Brown of Denning, Ulster county, had
tougher work on his hands than he bar
gained for when he started out with his
dog and trusty rifle on Monday morning
of this week to see what he could bag.
The wild lands of Denniug are famous as
a hunting ground. Browns first game
was young wildcat. Proceeding further
into the dense uuderbrush, his keen eyes
discovered bears tracks into the soft mud
and snow. Further along he noticed
other and larger tracks of the same fami-
ly, and soon the fierce barking of his dog
betokened that the sport was at hand.
When Brown came up with his dog the
poor animal WAS wetering in its own
blood A baby cub lay moaning beside
the dog, while its mother, huge ugly
looking brute, licked the cubs wounds
At sight of the nunter the mother turned
angrily, and before Brown could level his
gun the bear was fairly on him. The hun
ter'S clothing WAS torn from his back and
his body was covered with ugly cuts and
scratches, In the struggle the hunters
gun went OFF accidentally, wound
ing slightly both hunter and bear. The
latter was goaded to fury by the pain
of the wound, and she renewed her
attack on the now comparatively helpless
man. 1t would nave gone hard with the
hunter mad not the dog staggered to Its
feet and renewed its attack on the cub,
and then, with a vicious growl, the moth
er bear started to the rescue of her Off
spring. After killing the dog she again
attacked the hunter, but he was ready for
her with his hnutlng knife, which he
plunged with skilled aim in a vital spot,
and the bear rolled over dead.
The wounded cub and two other small
bears were captured alive. These Brown

where, the most fertile--that lies between
the point where the great river energies
from the high lands and its mouth is liza
bic to overflow; and as the southern levee
was swept away for many miles, the low
est estimate is that 1000 square miles are
flooded, ten great cities and many villages
swept away, hundreds of thousands of
people drowned and many millions rem
dcrcd homeless and starving. In the face
of such Ca!amties the occasional and linn
tied overfows ON tx Mississippi seem
tritling. On Oct. 8 the Chinese govern
ment issued u decree beginning with these
amazing words: eve have received n
memorial from CHI eng-fu reporting that
the Yellow river has burst its banks be-
low Cheng le bon and has flooded ten
parishes, and requesting he himself and
the officers responsible for its control
should be punishedr' That appears to be
the way they do the ''civil service act" in
China. The government has sent relief,
both natives and foreigners in the sea
port cities have contributed literally, and
yet the misery is but slightly relieved.
Cold and hunger are staying hundreds
who escaped the flood
The Yellow river has been named
China's sorrow, and its course is a puzzle.
Formed in the far west by many noun
tain streams, it flows out of China into
Mongolia, then turns to the south, re-
enters China proper and flows nearly
/ 600 miles to Fuchan, there turns
straight east and through the provinces Of
IIonan, Chilli and Shantung to the sea.
But in IIonan it leaves the highlands,
and thence eastward the plains are lower
and broader Hence from time inmemo-
rial the river has changed its course at
intervals 1t would flow in one channel
till the oldest men only could say that in
their fathers time there was mo such
river" there, then suddenly tear out a
course directly across the old line, leaving
the latter dry land or stagnant lake. A
long era of quiet would give the people
confidence; the whole plain would be
thick set with towns, and then the mighty
flood would change again. Even now
many maps represent the Yellow river
as flowing straight east from Fuchan to
the Yellow sea, and fifty or sixty years
ago it did run there; but on the latest
maps 1t turns north in eastern Honan and
runs through Shantung to the gulf OF
Pechile. In these two provinces and ii

some blind boys under the trees playing
with a ball and bat. They took turns at
the bat, and each one was anxious to

about six PAGES from the batter, while
the catcher sat squarely on the ground
Immediately behind the bat. When al

batter would, at just the proper moment,
swing his bat, and the catcher would
spread out his hands and feet to stop the
ball He seemed to hear the ball as it
passed the batter (and it generally did and
struck the ground and it was most sur

the first bound, and yet perfectly blind.
IL he failed to stop the ball he would pur-
sue 1t on his hands and feet as spry as

he could hear the ball roll along the grass
or he could judge from the nature of the
surface and the known speed of the ball
just how it would roll. His hands would
sweep the ground with great rapidity, and
when he had the ball he would lump on
his feet and rush for the ONE base. With
the exception of the home base all the bas-
es were trunks of large shade trees. l

could run. They just flew over the ground

Occasionally the batter would make
good hit; then all hands but the runner
went in search of the ball AS soon as he
had made his run he would join in the

An Engine Runs Away.

Rock ISLAND, His, Dec PA novel
and sensational railroad accident occurred
here yesterday on the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy road, between Rock Island and
Moline. Engine No 372, of that road, had
been sent from this city to Moline in charge
of the yard master, engineer and fireman.
This crew attempted to make a certain
switch before meeting a certain incoming
fast freight but were unsuccessful. The
engineers Of both engines seeing their
peril, reversed their engines, and the crews
leaped for their lives. They had no sooner
done SO than the engines came together
The freight engine was stopped by the col
iision, but the empty No. 372 dashed back
down the track toward Rock Island at a
terrific rate 1t ran two and a half miles
in less than three minutes, making several
railroad crossings and barely avoiding
several teams and trains on other roads,
and finally stopped when the steam was
exhausted

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. "a In three rounds,

Auliffa worsted the ex-champion, Paddy

entering the ring, tipped the scale at 1870
pounds-iive pounds less than when he met
Sullivan at Mississippi City.
His right hand had been bruised accident
ally while sparring with his trainer, Carroll,
a few days ago. McAuliffe was in fine trim

were Carroll and young Mitchell while Nc
